Respuesta :

Answer: 45 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Five years ago victor was twice as old as his daughter

Suppose the current age of victor and his daughter are x and y

For five years ago

[tex]\Rightarrow (y-5)=2(x-5)\\\Rightarrow y-5=2x-10\\\Rightarrow y=2x-5\\\Rightarrow 2x-y=5\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]

In 10 years sum of their ages is 90

[tex]\Rightarrow (y+10)+(x+10)=90\\\Rightarrow x+y=70\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

On solving (i) and (ii) we get

[tex]\Rightarrow x=25,y=45[/tex]

So, the current age of victor is 45 and his daughter is 25
